Hi all, wow just saw that there are many south africans on this forum, I am one too. I have not had a drink now for 8 days after a 1 year gradual decline. I thought I was ok untill I missed work for 3 days last week, I WAS TOO HUNG OVER TO GET OUT OF BED.
I feel terrible not going in BUT it forced me to remember who I was and what I am. I went to my GP and asked him for my antaboose tablets again and started them on Friday. The only thing I need to remember is not to spray deodorant under my arms while Im taking them, OMG was I sick on Saturday after using it under my arms. I also can't use my mouthwash. LOL
Anyway this is my first post and I hope what I am doing is right.
Take care all and enjoy being sober, I know I am.

Hi Poppie - we'll have to have a SA meet one day !

Just wanted to say Good Luck ! I would say you are definately doing the right thing - just read as many past posts as you can to find out what supplements you should be taking i.e. vitamins etc.

thank you

hi all, it was nice to have so many replies to my FIRST post. Im ok, still have the thought of a beer in my head but I know it will fade the longer I resist. I was trembling today, my whole body was shaking from the inside, not sure if its normal, dunno really, Im sure it is the alcohol though, not had it before. I am taking vit B complex my doc gave me and my antabooze every morning before I can change my mind. Im too scared to drink on them and I suppose Im using them to feel safe.
I don't have any sugar often but got myself a chocolate just now which I will force myself to eat.
A meeting with south africans would be great, maybe a braai..
take care
